Abstract excerpt
To test the validity of the mutant selection window, we simulated mutant prevention concentration-targeted fluoroquinolone concentrations using an in vitro model with infected fibrin clots. Therapeutic ciprofloxacin (peak 5 microg/mL; t(1/2) 4 h), gatifloxacin (3.5 microg/mL; 8h), gemifloxacin (1.25 microg/mL; 8 h), levofloxacin (6 microg/mL; 6 h) and moxifloxacin (4.5 microg/mL; 12 h) were tested against...
